House leMaistre came from Ustalav (about 25 years ago) as refugees from the War without Rivals. Since their arrival they have established themselves as a small Merchant House trading between New Stetven and Restov, but have ambitions to restore their noble status. Henry leMaistre is head of the leMaistre family, and won the contract to clear and then settle that part of the Stolen Land known as the Midmarch. He holds the titles of Baron Gates and Viscount Midmarch.

Amelie de leMaistre was sent to New Stetven from Ustalav, when Henry and Arice were children (during the War without Rivals) to protect the family from the effects of the war. It was fortunate because Armond leMaistre, Master of Feldgrau, lost his life, his lands, most his family and nearly all of his retainers during the war. The few survivors came to join Amelie and settled in Brevoy. Amelie is the younger sister of Armond, and Henry is the oldest surviving male of the line. The few adult retainers that came with them have passed away, but their children are all still employed by the family

Amelie used the family's resources to set up as a small merchant house working between Restov and New Stetven, and supported all the family members and retainers who joined them. The family still run the merchant house and Henry's brother-in-law, Peter leMaistre-Bowe, manages the day-to-day side of the business from his offices in Brunderton.

The family are followers of Pharasma.
